Tributes
"Girls, I realize it was such a hard decision to make but I thank you for bringing your mom into our lives here. I gained such a respect and was in awe of her when she tried to help someone else by remembering how she handled that same situation. I hope each of you will carry a special part of her through generations to come, so she will always be remembered just as she was. God bless you all. You are good daughters."
